We are so honored to be named in PhillyMag’s Article: Philadelphia’s 22 Most Incredible Cake Bakers for three years in a row!

Meet Alexis The Baker

Meet Alexis!  Self-taught baker and entrepreneur.  A lover of parties, buttercream, and cakes.  On a mission to create the perfect cake, cupcakes, cake pops, and cookies for your celebrations and weddings.

And the Designer

Alexis adores new trends while maintaining a love for tradition. You will always find a bit of whimsy as she creates confections that are always considered “too pretty to eat.”

I see your wedding as the most important “cake” chapter in your life. That’s why each confection created for you is with an “epic novel” passion.

From cracking the first egg to swirling the final frosting, I am inspired by the romantic ambiance of creating the most perfect and stunning cake just for you.

This is why I bake from scratch with premium, mostly organic ingredients, so the taste of your wedding cake naturally becomes an incredible experience for your guests.

The Novel Baker is named for the years spent at Arcadia University pursuing Master’s Degrees in Writing and Literature. Initially, the bakery was founded to help this writer pay off her college loans, but it later developed into a life’s passion. The name is also a double entendre because the cakes are always novel (and delicious).

The Novel Baker, Inc. is inspected, insured, and bakes from an open commercial kitchen with an enchanting cafe area where cookie and cake decorating parties are hosted. So, let’s get to it and start designing your once-in-a-lifetime cake. Contact us to begin your cake adventure!
